"Whether she works on the computer in the direct way she once did with foam brushes I have no idea. Certainly, the new method of drawing has done nothing to diminish the intensity of her architecture, though it has changed it as a visual presence and a philosophical proposition. The forms gather energies around them and retain them. The contained energy contorts simple forms into complex ones. They are tightly wound, or bundled, and seem ready to explode – though they do not"
"Visionary New York architect Lebbeus Woods reviews the evolution of Zaha Hadid’s work from the 1970s to the present. Tracking the shifts in her work from a Suprematist-informed fragmentation in the 1980s to a more contemporary fluidity and a preoccupation with complex curvilinearity, he throws light on the relationship between Hadid’s drawing and her architecture".

| "This has been crucial to her thought because she sees architecture as an integral part of the wider world. She was a global architect long before the term acquired its present meaning" |
This reading was one of my favorites so far because I am a BIG fan of Zaha Hadid! Her work has been the inspiration to my folie and many designs I have done so far.
